In addition to its physiological functions, serum albumin plays a role of neuroprotection in cerebrovascular stroke. The circulating levels of albumin may be reduced in patients with stroke due to the presence of a systemic inflammatory state and to the inadequacy of protein-energy intake. In the
Dietary fibers are indigestible carbohydrates, which are present in several daily foods such as beans, legumes, whole grain products, and whole fruits and vegetables. The Food and Drug Administration recommends a daily fiber uptake of 25 g. However, in 2009-2010 the mean fiber intake of US adults
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Theoretical Framework
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness characterized by significant clinical heterogeneity and a long evolution over time, determined by periods of psychotic exacerbation and phases of stabilization. The semiology of this nosological entity is
Chronic abdominal pain is a hallmark feature of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)1; a prevalent2, costly disorder3 that disproportionately affects the female sex4. IBS is often comorbid with psychiatric disorders and other pain-related conditions, and although pathophysiology is not yet fully
In recent years, chronic kidney disease(CKD) has become a worldwide public health issue.
The main factors affecting the prognosis of patients with chronic kidney disease are its complications, including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, malnutrition, inflammation, atherosclerosis
The term "mucositis" was introduced to describe inflammation of the oral mucosa induced by radiotherapy, chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. At present, oral mucositis is considered to be the most serious non-hematological complication of cancer treatment.
Numerous predisposing factors
The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract that manifests as Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC), clinically characterized by periods of remission interrupted by episodes of clinical disease activity (Zallot et al., 2013).
The World Health Organization (W.H.O). defines oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) as "A histologically proven lesion that is associated with a significantly increased risk of malignant transformation."Oral leukoplakia is the most commonly occurring oral potentially malignant disorder.
Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxy-tryptamine) is an indoleamine synthesized and secreted by the pineal gland and other organs, such as the retina, bone marrow, and intestines in a circadian pattern. Extrapineal sites contribute poorly, or only upon specific stimuli to circulating melatonin. Melatonin
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the safety and feasibility of human lysozyme goat milk (hLZ) treatment by assessing:
Ia: Type, frequency, severity, attribution, time course and duration of adverse events, including diarrhea, bloodstream/intestinal infections.
Ib. Patients' ability to drink the
Suicide is a leading cause of death in the US, and its rate continues to increase. Most individuals who die by suicide are in contact with health care, but clinical risk assessment is challenging. Inflammatory biomarkers have tentatively been linked to suicide. However, longitudinal studies
Background:
Moderate acute malnutrition (MAM), a major global health problem, is defined as wasting (i.e. weight-for-height between <-2 and -3 Z-scores of the WHO Child Growth Standards) and/or mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC) greater or equal to 115 mm and less than 125 mm. According to the

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is an enzyme that regulates immune responses by degrading tryptophan, which is required for efficient T-cell activation. IDO1 expression is limited in normal tissues but is induced by IFN-gamma in inflammatory tissues, to prevent excessive T-cell activity. The
Fibromyalgia or Fibromyalgic Sindrome (FMS) is a chronic debilitating pain syndrome, affecting about 2-4% of the general population, with an average peak between 30 and 50 years, but with a significantly higher prevalence, until about 8-10%, if considered only female sex or greater age. Fibromyalgia
